ATN REPORTING
What happened
Coffee shipments to China rose to 47,836 tonnes valued at $347 million in 2025/26, while exporters and regulators prepare for the EU Deforestation Regulation and its traceability requirements.
ATN ANALYSIS
Why it matters
Coffee is a major source of foreign exchange for Ethiopia. Faster growth in China could reduce concentration risk in Europe, while compliance costs could reshape margins and supply-chain investment.
ATN INTELLIGENCE
What to watch
Track China’s share of Ethiopian coffee exports, deployment of the national traceability system, and buyer behavior ahead of EUDR implementation.
